Misunderstood as a Villainous Villain

31 – Being misunderstood as an evil villain 31

Surprised by the amount, Sehyeon asked again.

“Two thousand six hundred and eight hundred thousand won?”

And Kim Tae-hwan sounded like he was arguing because the amount was too small.

“Keuheum, it’s definitely a disappointing amount compared to your performance.”

No, I never thought of it as a pity.

‘Seeing that this is a small amount… … Hunters seem to make a lot of money.’

but.

Where is the mass-produced modern fantasy novel where Hunter can’t make money?

Since it is a game in a world view based on such a novel, of course, from the point of view of the general public, it will make a sounding amount of money.

‘Coming to think of it, two thousand seven hundred seems a bit small.’

It’s not because the opponent was too strong, but if it’s an A-rank hunter, it’s quite a force.

Putting it in there means that it was treated as at least the top of the B rank?

It was a mission that those fighters risked their lives, but it was only natural that the pay was high, unless it was an apocalypse worldview.

‘I don’t know what happened there, but it was said that it worked… … It’s a situation where you can argue why he gave so little.’

While I was thinking that, Kim Tae-hwan continued.

“But I want you to understand. No matter how hard you work, failure is failure. According to the clan’s rules, success rewards cannot be given. I’d like to take care of it personally, but if I were to be found out through an audit, there could be a controversy that I, the chairman of the board, favored one of the students… … You will be tired in many ways. Getting attention from the other heads of state probably won’t do you much good, even on your part, who’s still holding their breath.”

In fact, I wondered what it would be like for Sehyun.

It was no exaggeration to say that this world was under the rule of the clan.

It was decided that way in such a large group, so what are they going to do?

It’s not like I’m going to go and knock it over.

Unexpectedly, with a large amount of money in her hands, Sehyun’s mind was filled with thoughts of buying magic items.

‘If I use all this money to raise my magic… … How strong will the magic be?’

Growth will also be faster.

Surely it will.

“All right.”

“Thank you for your understanding. By the way… … .”

Taehwan was momentarily troubled as he spoke.

Is it right to bring out these words that are in my head right now?

Wouldn’t it be better to just let it go?

I thought about it, and eventually gave up.

“Hey, what is the purpose of entering our academy?”

“Yes? Why?”

“… … yes. There must be a reason for something.”

Sehyun thought.

‘I guess the chairman still sees me as a spy.’

The reason I entered the academy was, of course, that I had a lot to learn.

Learning magic itself depends on talent, but the class was very helpful in terms of mana utilization, fast magic chanting, and proficiency.

In addition, the academy is a place where young cadets who will become the pillars of the country live together.

It is a pity that a place like this is attacked by a villain alliance, so the security against invasion is strict.

In other words, it was thought that the safest place in the world would be inside the academy.

That’s it, really.

Purely.

Sehyeon spoke of her pure heart.

“I want to learn magic.”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course I am sincere. You said it last time too. I never missed a magic class.”

“Then would you do it if I told you to drop out of the academy instead of giving you a very capable tutor?”

ah?

It’s a tempting suggestion, but… … um, that’s a bit

Wouldn’t it be better if they just put a hundred bodyguards on each other?

Sehyun denied Taehwan’s words.

“Isn’t it… not.”

“Whoa.”

Then, Taehyung let out a big sigh.

He pressed his temples hard as if he had a headache.

“Hey, listen. There’s no way anyone your size is unaware of it, but your existence right now is very dangerous to the balance of the world. Even at a glance, he is an unidentified and unidentified talented person who can play with a villain who shows moves above the middle rank of S rank like a toy. It means that just by highlighting your existence, the trigger for a battle between the talented can be pulled.”

The recent external situation is unusual.

Even though the Villain Alliance is a group that wants to take control of the world by plotting war whenever forces gather.

Even on the clan side, the voices of extreme forces who want to wage war against the Villains once again are getting louder.

If you won the war, you should exterminate them quietly, even at the cost of sacrifice. Why did you carelessly leave a seed and let it grow big enough to threaten the clan?

I thought that now, even if I had to sacrifice myself, I would be able to completely eradicate the villains and create a truly peaceful world.

Of course, he only talked about real peace and whatnot, and no one knew what the plan was.

‘Why don’t you know? As long as humans exist, the Villain forces cannot disappear.’

In the midst of this, a villain with extraordinary fighting power and troublesome spiritualization abilities suddenly appeared.

Even that was not enough, until there was a person who could play with the villain in the palm of his hand as an academy student.

‘It was a mistake to entrust you with such a noisy mission just to see how it turns out… … .’

Right now, with the name of Kim Tae-hwan, he succeeded in covering up and covering up the incident.

However, if anyone in the upper echelons has any doubts about this mission record, it is only a matter of time before Yoon Se-hyun’s armed forces and situation are identified.

Unlike Taehyeon, who just thought that Sehyeon had the skills of an S-rank prospect and tried to raise him to suppress the villains, it was clear that they would really think of Sehyeon as a weapon of war or something to be eliminated.

Either way, it could lead to catastrophe.

There is no way that Yoon Se-hyun, who must have responded to the dispatch mission he entrusted to her, would just accept it.

In such a situation, Kim Tae-hwan, an anti-war faction, had quite a headache.

‘I don’t know, but something bad seems to be happening.’

As Sehyeon, who did not know what the current situation of the world was like, he did not properly recognize the seriousness of it.

I just wonder if we are in the middle of a cold war like the USSR and the US at the height of their lives.

Rather, the nerve was on the other side.

‘I was playing with Nabi Choi… … He even said that himself. But I only remember being stabbed by him and knocked down. If I collapse in danger of dying, will my subconscious act on something?’

I’m sure there was something, but I didn’t want to risk it and experiment.

Like a single-use resurrection item, it could be used only once, or who knows if there are various conditions.

‘… … Damn it, this guy. He’s not interested in what I’m saying.’

Kim Tae-hwan, who noticed that Se-hyeon was thinking about something else, decided that there was no point in continuing the conversation.

So, I decided to ask one last thing.

“Then just tell me this. You want social order to be maintained and the world to be filled with chaos. Which one do you want?”

That’s what Sehyeon was able to answer easily.

“Anyway, the order is maintained.”

“that word… … Wouldn’t that be the truth without lies?”

“of course.”

“Huh, I know. Sorry for wasting your time. The mission reward will be deposited directly into your bank account, so you can leave.”

“Yep.”

Whoa-!

As soon as I came out of the chairperson’s office, the portable terminal trembled.

[ 26,800,000 won has been deposited. ]

‘Oh, crazy.’

With the knife-like deposit, a crush on the clan soared.

Apparently, just a moment ago, there was not even a million won in the bank account, but in an instant, the property increased by more than 30 times.

dispatch mission… … might be pretty good?

The one that came out this time was a very dangerous villain, but this is a special case and it won’t be like this every time.

‘I have to secretly go shopping before the annoying kids come along again!’

Since he had no plans to leave the academy anyway, he converted all of the pay he received from dispatch missions into school currency.

Now, you can go to the cadet market and flex the magical power enhancement ring or magic gauntlet that you had to suck your fingers and look at.

‘If I spend this much money, I’m sure I’ll be able to go to the tower as a wizard.’

In fact, being a tower is not just about having entry restrictions.

If you just wanted to go in, you could go in anytime.

It’s because playing solo is suicidal unless you’re extremely strong.

Of course, dying in the tower doesn’t mean you actually die, but it’s common to say that you’ll be in a retirement state and have to lie sick for a month.

That’s why party play is treated as almost essential, but since I’m a person, I’m bound to be selected as a party member.

Sehyun had been training hard in magic to meet the minimum specs of the weakest party so far.

In his case, party play is effectively forced, as he won’t die on the tower, but he can’t be killed either.

So, I was waiting for the ‘Wizard’ characteristic level to get a new magic, but now there is no need to do that.

It’s enough to increase the power of basic magic by wrapping the item around.

For reference, the ecology of active hunters also goes like this.

In fact, the facility itself, the academy, was created to allow young Awakeners to adapt to the world of hunters.

Sehyeon stepped into the market for cadets.

This place full of products from the tower is always crowded with crowds.

‘Sup, ha. The scent of these refreshing items.’

In fact, 27 million won is not a lot of money when it comes to rune equipment.

It feels similar to money to buy a few snacks with a little exaggeration.

However, in the market within the academy, it is possible to rent equipment with campus currency.

The deadline is until graduation, and if you don’t break it, you get a full refund when you return it with only a fee.

Even if you borrow as much as you want, you can keep the money, which is a huge benefit.

There is a lot of talk in the world that the rich and the poor have intensified too much in educational facilities where fair competition should be valued, but the Awoken industry has come too far to discuss such things.

If you were born into a good family in the first place, it is meaningless because you have better equipment than the most expensive one on the market.

Rather, it is the common people and the low-income class who benefit the most from the rental policy.

It is a system created in the sense that even if you were unlucky at birth, follow the stork and try tearing off a leg.

The purpose was to provide a foothold to rise rather than force leveling.

From the standpoint of a dirty spoon, you should bow down and be grateful for the fact that there is a rental policy such as this kind of glass floor.

‘How can I borrow equipment to get the best efficiency? … .’

Sehyun started shopping with a happy heart after a long time.
